This thread wasn't directed at the members of TiBB (just for the record).

It was something I had noticed in general on the net and off. I do agree to a point that someone who spells everything correctly and uses proper grammar but still doesn't have a point to make wont ever be any more understood.

However, I am very concerned at the amount of people who just don't seem to be able to string a sentence together let alone put it in writing.

I wouldn't generalise though and blame all young people. Lauren has certainly proved to be perfectly capable of spelling, grammar, being understood and sometimes even having a point and she's 18 I believe..

I just hope that the education system and the parents put more emphasis on basic skills or we will have a whole generation of half-educated people.
